Meet our Centre Manager
Kia ora
Hi, I’m Jay, the Centre Manager at Active Explorers St Lukes.
My approach to teaching is rooted in respectful practice, cultural awareness, and a deep commitment to meaningful learning. These values shape not only how I teach, but also how I lead. I take a values-driven, human-centred approach to leadership and management, and I’m passionate about creating transformative educational experiences for every child.
What makes us special
About Active Explorers St Lukes
At Active Explorers St Lukes, we believe in nurturing the whole child through strong whānau connections, inclusive practices and a deep understanding of early development. Our team works closely with families to create tailored learning experiences that reflect each child’s background and needs.
Our centre sits on the second floor, offering a unique view across the whenua and into the treetops, bringing nature closer to our everyday learning. Purpose-built and enriched by cultural diversity, our space is designed for exploration, comfort and growth.
We welcome tamariki from birth to five years, with three dedicated learning spaces tailored to different age groups. Daily life here includes enrichment activities such as yoga, baking, excursions and play, all underpinned by respectful care and a strong sense of community.
